There's Still Time To Get Your Summer Body

Summer 2016 will soon be coming to a close, but don't put away your warm-weather clothes just yet. There are still plenty of days left to enjoy the lake or the mountains before the chill of fall arrives.

If getting out gives you a thrill, but getting into a swimsuit gives you second thoughts, you're not alone. Even if you've worked hard to get your body beach-ready, that last bit of belly fat, or muffin top, can mean the difference between carefree fun and staying covered up.

Here's an innovative solution: CoolSculpting. It's a non-invasive technology developed from science at Harvard University that kills fat cells in a targeted way by freezing them. It targets fat cells alone, eliminating them in an easy, non-intrusive way that exercise and diet can't achieve as quickly or as effectively. One session can take less than an hour and permanently kills about 25 percent of the fat cells that are being treated.

Other procedures that use a laser, sonic waves and even surgery to remove fat can also damage other tissue in the process by burning, shattering or extracting non-fat cells. These treatments require time for your body to heal. CoolSculpting doesn't burn, shatter or extract any cells.

It takes a few months to see the full effects of CoolSculpting mainly because it takes that long for your body to naturally dispose of the fat cells. You still have to maintain a healthy lifestyle to enjoy the effects of CoolSculpting.

Best of all, the procedure is painless. You might feel a little discomfort shortly after the procedure, but that wears off in no time.
